Alsara: Requiem and Revolution

The Dark before the Dawn

Okesh Mosir

This is the city founded near the end of The Orcish Exile. It is the only Orcish city in the world, and its location is a well-kept secret. Orcs will travel from far and wide to return here, and the population consists of nearly 40% pilgrims. They come and go according to the season, however, so many of the dwellings are communal houses with space rented to people who wish only to remain for a few months. During the winter, many of these buildings are abandoned, only to be renovated come the springtime.

The city itself has banned the carrying of weapons not tied or secured. This has led to the use of clubs, cudgels, and walking sticks for the use of performing acts of violence, as such tools cannot effectively be tied or secured. This practice has been enthusiastically adopted by the city guard, of course, so it’s not like anyone is getting off easy.
